Thank you so much, Mary, Susan, and Sue, for the kind words; they are immensely appreciated. ❤️ I have to say that I got the idea of adding greenery to the background paper from a Lilypad artist-designer (lgrieveson) who often adds them to her pages/kit, but in her case, more in an artsy way. Here are the paper and some of the stickers I used (here in jpeg):

After many moons, I have something to post here... It's one layout from the folder I called Unfinished Layouts... There are still many in it! I finished it a few weeks ago, but I only remember to post it today. Credits: Template from Scrapping with Liz (SwL_LotsofBlocksTemplate3) Background paper: DiHiller_PSJul2021_Paper5 plus Greenery and berries stickers from mommyish_AAM. I played with the blend mode. Alpha (Hotel): APennington_TLP Treasured Font: Astorica Display Black Cassel: I followed different Frame Tutorials from the Creative Scrap tutorials.

What great work has been posted here! There are so many beautiful layouts and birthday cards! It's always a joy and inspiration to browse the posts.

Sue, I feel the same way. 🙂 I really like creating my own stuff, although I certainly use things from the kits I've collected over the years. I have many of Carole's great scripts, which come in handy to speed up the process... Some work like magic! Like you, I love the Masterclasses. There is always something new or a deep explanation of something we saw before, but my go-to is the Preview page of the Creative Scrap tutorials... I like looking at the photos to decide which tutorial to follow.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY & THANK YOU! It's your birthday, but we are the ones getting the presents. I have already gone shopping! ☺️

Oh, Sue, seeing how they trust you is so sweet! Those photos are a gem! ❣️

Mary, what a lovely layout!

Belated Happy Birthday, Corrie! 💟 Enjoy the time with your family!

What about just this: How can I take someone

Hi Jnet, As time is running out, I'll be more explicit...what about asking the Search box? 😉 ... "How can I..."

Same here. I took the opportunity to go over the posts again—some I totally forgot. They are very interesting and useful.

Rene already answered you, but here are some screenshots.

I started using more grouping layers last year, and if I remember correctly, it was because of one of your comments. Before, it was only with masks (Clip to It). I also color code the layers, and I have a color for when it's something I created, something from Carole's, or something from kits... The vectors are always white... I don't remember when I started doing this, but the colors were chosen over the years... My old layouts have all sorts of colors!

I will take a look at this class, too. I don't remember it very well, and it's no wonder, with hundreds of great Masterclasses.

What a cute card! Happy Easter, Corrie.

Happy Easter, Doska!

Very nice layout, Bina!

Beautiful, Corrie!

Same here, Michele! ... I think this applies to all of us here. 🙂

Sue, that's a beautiful layout! Just by looking at it, we can feel all the attention you give to details and techniques. Great work, as always.

Julie, what a lovely work!

Cute young ladies and smile... I love the quote, too, Bonnie!

@Sue Thomas Welcome back! Hopefully, you had a great time with your family. 🙂❤️ It

The template of this 2021 Year in Review layout was a cass-freebie from 2022 Jan... I decided to do a double page, but I will still choose the last three spots on the right side... It takes longer to decide on which photos I want to use than anything else... The square was not big, and I still managed to fit 4 photos inside! ... I am late, but I don't give up. lol

Wow, Rene, this was really a challenge, and what an accomplishment to create all those layouts.
